Chapter 58 Fallen Angel
Everyone’s gaze fell on Alena Wright, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She then glanced sideways at Waylon Gray who was beside her.
As long as she was with Waylon Gray, there was no way that she could keep a low profile.
“Waylon Gray, I want someone some peace for now, please don’t follow me,” After speaking, she didn’t give Waylon Gray a chance to react as she walked towards the corner of the banquet hall.
Waylon Gray wanted to reach out and grab her, at that moment, however, his mobile phone rang, so he could only carefully urge, “You should pay attention to your own safety, remember to call me if you need anything, alright?”
Alena Wright gently nodded to let him know that she heard him well.
Waylon Gray was a little uneasy as Alena Wright distanced herself from him. If only he did not have an important role in that banquet, then he would have taken Alena Wright back to the hotel with him.
Earlier, when Mimi Winston was making such a fuss, everyone guessed that Alena Wright was his woman, and then he must not fear anymore that anyone would try to offend Alena Wright.
With that thought, Waylon Gray heaved out a sigh of relief.
He walked to the corner and answered his phone. It was Bill Clay who was calling him.
After answering the phone, Bill Clay said excitedly, “President, there is news about the ring.”
“Have you found her? Where is she?” Waylon Gray who had always been calm and steady had a hard time dealing with how fast his heartbeat was. At that moment, it was a little difficult for him to handle himself.
Without waiting for Bill Clay to say anything, he then ordered, “Prepare the helicopter immediately. I will go to see her personally.”
It had been five years!
Five years had passed, and finally, there was new about that woman!
Seeing that Waylon Gray being so excited, Bill Clay knew that he really valued the woman.
Therefore, he did not dare to gather his hopes up, and he immediately said regretfully, “I’m sorry, President Gray. We did not find the whereabouts of the lady, but we found that a woman was keeping the ring and she even went to the counter to ask about the price of the ring. However, the surveillance video can no longer be found, so we need to continue to investigate the identity of that woman who got the ring.”
When Waylon Gray heard that, he immediately felt disappointed, so he said in a deep voice, “Then continue to investigate, no matter how much it costs and how long it takes, I have to find her whereabouts.”
In any case, he wanted to find the lady. He promised himself that he would protect her in the future, and he would not let her suffer any harm. After all, she owed the woman a lot.
“I see what you mean, President…” Bill Clay said before he hung up the phone.
After Alena Wright left the banquet hall, she walked directly to the garden outside.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
When she came to the banquet hall earlier, she had already noticed that there was a huge swimming pool outside.
She walked over to the pool, and since it was already dark, nobody else was by the pool.
Alena Wright sat on a beach chair nearby as she quietly drowned herself in her own thoughts.
She did not notice that Mimi Winston had been following her closely. Mimi Winston walked out of the dark and she walked silently behind Alena Wright as she stared at her with hatred in her eyes.
Everything that happened to her that night was all because of Alena Wright. She had shamed her in public and she was even slapped by her father because of the woman.
“Alena Wright…”
A gloomy voice had sounded behind Alena Wright, and she was so scared that she immediately stood up. She then looked at Mimi Winston in horror, “Mimi, you still haven’t learned your lesson, have you?”
Mimi Winston clenched her hand tightly that her fingertips were turning pale due to the excessive force.
She stared at Alena Wright angrily as she gritted her teeth and said, “Alena, don’t be too proud. Waylon Gray will abandon you sooner or later.”
Mimi Winston couldn’t believe that Waylon Gray would really like Alena Wright.
Alena Wright sneered. She looked at Mimi Winston mockingly and said, “What does this have to do with you?”
Alena Wright paused for a moment before she smiled and said, “If you like Waylon Gray, then it’s better for you to just forget your fantasies. Isn’t it obvious that he doesn’t like you?”
“You…” Mimi Winston stared at her angrily as her face turned red in anger.
Alena Wright felt satisfied as she saw the angry look on Mimi Winston’s face. Alena Wright warned coldly, “Mimi, don’t mess with me again, otherwise, you will not only receive a slap in the face.”
When Alena Wright mentioned the slap, Mimi Winston’s heart was filled with anger. Mimi Winston stared at her and it was obvious that she couldn’t wait to get back at her. She had never been beaten before, and just then, she was slapped in public by her father. The shame and grievance directly occupied her mind.
Mimi Winston noticed the swimming pool behind Alena Wright, and vicious thoughts came up in her mind.
A sinister smile appeared on her face, and she quickly ran towards Alena Wright. She stretched out her hand and she pushed her hard as she shouted, “Go to hell, bitch!”
Alena Wright was caught off guard, and before she could even realize it, she fell into the cold swimming pool.
The ice-cold water instantly flooded her. She struggled with her hands as she accidentally swallowed some of the water, and she shouted in pain, “Help… Help… I… I… I can’t swim.”
Mimi Winston who was standing at the poolside watched her struggling figure with a happy expression on her face. Mimi Winston said viciously, “Alena, you deserve it!”
Alena Wright’s evening dress had absorbed a lot of water that it became extra heavy, and it was dragging her down continuously.
She kept struggling in the water, and she was struggling to move her arms as she panicked on the water surface. Suddenly, she felt that her legs were getting numb, and when she completely lost her strength, she let the cold water drown her, and she instantly felt the horror of dying.
Alena Wright sank into the water, and she clenched her fist tightly as if she wanted to grasp something, but she could only grasp water.
Waylon Gray who was in the banquet hall suddenly felt flustered for some reason. It was as if something important to him was about to be lost. He subconsciously scanned the banquet hall, and he felt nervous when he could not find Alena Wright.
His heart jumped suddenly as he was looking for Alena Wright’s figure.
Waylon Gray’s feet moved automatically, and he walked straight out of the banquet hall towards the swimming pool.
Just as he was about to approach the swimming pool, he suddenly saw Mimi Winston rushing over in a hurry. Waylon Gray’s eyes slit as he saw the panic expression on Mimi Watson’s face.
The uneasy feeling in Waylon Gray’s heart grew deeper as he saw Mimi Watson acting that way.
He grabbed Mimi Winston’s arm and he asked in a cold voice, “Where is Alena?”
Mimi Winston met his indifferent gaze, and she was so scared that her mouth trembled slightly as she spoke, “I… I… I didn’t see her.”
Waylon Gray grabbed her hand and he held her tightly. He didn’t believe what she said at all. When he was about to ask him again, he noticed an earring on the ground.
He knew those earrings as he personally picked them for Alena.
His eyes fell on the swimming pool, and he noticed the slight ripples on the water.
Waylon Gray suddenly let go of Mimi Winston’s hands, and he ran towards the swimming pool.
In the water, Alena Wright was like a sleeping beauty who was now quietly floating in the water.
Waylon Gray’s pupils suddenly widened as he saw Alena Wright’s pale body, and when he was about to jump into the water, someone had grabbed him from the side.
It was a man that he was very familiar with. The man cleared his throat and said, “There’s a wound on your arm, I’ll save her instead.”
After speaking, the man jumped into the water. He quickly grabbed Alena Wright’s hand, and he fished her out of the water.
Waylon Gray looked at Alena Wright, whose face was pale and whose breathing was already weak. A huge panic surged in his heart that he forgot everyone who was surrounding him at that time.
“Alena, wake up! Wake up!” He raised his hand and he pressed it on Alena Wright’s chest as he attempted to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Mimi Winston couldn’t help but clench her fists as she watched the scene in front of her. Mimi Watson was very jealous that she even secretly wished that Alena Wright drowned, otherwise, she would wake up and tell the truth.
Mimi Watson was suddenly agitated, and she didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
When Waylon Gray put his mouth on Alena Wright again, she suddenly coughed out some water from her mouth.
A joyful smile suddenly appeared on Waylon Gray’s face and lightly patted Alena Wright’s cheek, “Alena… Alena…”
